By now, most of the stuff we listened to as teens are now 40 plus years old. Somebody made a cassette copy of Hair which I played most of the time, but the title track skipped, which I did get the 8 track later on. <br /><br />I still find Tim Buckley to be an acquired taste on his later efforts although I would like to find Starsailor without taking out a second mortage on the home. I found his first album on LP for 50 cents a couple months ago and Goodbye And Hello a couple weeks later I'm sure Tim would made a good folk singer but I do believe he's was looking for a new sound and Goodbye And Hello and later albums he continued to redefine himself. Somehow FYE and Hastings had plenty of his 2 CD Anthology overview in the cheap bins (they were selling it fullprice even with the saw cuts in the jewel case-tsk tsk). They also had the Best Of in the 1.99 section which I picked up. I do think he did a good cover of Dolphins from Fred Neil and Tom Waits Martha. The first two albums remain the most accessible, Happy Sad Tim really begin to add more blues and jazz to his songs and it seemed to work for him fairly well although record sales begin to drop. Needless to say, nobody quite sounded like Buckley either. He had a style of his own.

He was quite a talent. I have Hello and Goodbye, also Happy Sad which is a great album if you're in a mellow mood. Then I have a Live 1968 double disc CD where he does a great version of "Dolphins". And it is hard to believe its been 40 years since HOTD by Nazareth. I first heard it on LP brand new, then another friend had it on 8-track, then an old girlfriend bought me the LP. I never did like the transfer to CD. I thought it was too bright. Maybe they've remastered since then, I don't know. But it was one of the heaviest things around in '75.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17508388270082893510noreply@blogger.com
